12.  CONFORMITY  OF  ARTICLES  OF  THE  UNIFORM

TERNS, AND  PUBLICATION  OF  DESCRIPTIONS  AND

16  UNIFORM  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES  ARMY. 

The  articles  of  equipment  furnished  by  the  Ordnance  Department

who  will  from  time  to  time  publish  descriptions  and  specifications 
of  same.

the  dignity  of  the  uniform  and  the  respect  due  it  are  best  preserved 
when  its  wearers  so  conduct  themselves  as  never  to  cast  discredit 
upon  it.  Permission  to  wear  civilian  clothes  when  on  pass  should 
never  be  granted  enlisted  men  merely  as  a  reward  for  good  conduct, 
as  this  would  appear  to  discredit  the  uniform.  Such  permission 
should  be  given  only  when  conditions  indicate  that  it  would  be 
for  the  best  interests  of  the  service,  and  is  not  in  violation  of  the

Minnesota,  New  Hampshire,  New  York,  Oklahoma,  Pennsylvania, 
Rhode  Island,  and  Wyoming,  it  is  a  misdemeanor  for  the  proprietor, 
manager,  or  employee  of  a  theater  or  other  public  place  of  enter- 
tainment or  amusement  to  discriminate  against  any  person  lawfully
